Bugging:
Your dialer. I day this trick on YouTube and thought it was very smart. Open your dialer application (Samsung Dialer in my case) click the tree dots and click the settings option. Click answering and ending calls option and turn on Answer Automatically. Make sure your phone ringer is off. Now, all you have to do a call your phone to hear what is going on.
However, if you do not want just any number to activate it, as you could forget to turn it off, create a routine that tells your phone to go into silent mode, then start recording when a specific number calls. Next retrieve the phone and stop the audio recording.
Tracking/Mapping:
If you need to track your suspects you can use Samsung's Find My Mobile/Google Find My Phone/Apple Find my iPhone etc. However, for the more advanced espionage agents among us, we would like to see good Geospatial data at all times. This is why aspiring agents should use Google Earth to map out the place they are staking out. Activating the 3d option or the Street View option will also give you a better feel of the place. Lastly, for Offline Maps, I downloaded Here We Go Maps and downloaded all of North America for offline use.
Stenography:
If you want to hide text-based information on your phone in plain sight, look no further than PHOTO EXIF Editor. Click the photos option and select a photo. Scroll down to lens model or phone model etc and change the text in there to something Top Secret.
Signals Tracing:
Sometimes your suspect/missing item may be close but not in sight. If the item in question is Bluetooth-based, Bluetooth Scanner may be a good mobile application for your needs. Simply open the application and click START. It will show you all the Bluetooth devices that are in range. Click the device and start walking around, the lower the db the closer you are to the device.
